Is it more likely that a male child will get into poison than a female child? To find this out, data was collected that showed that out of 1830 children between the ages one and four who pass away from poisoning, 1031 were males and 799 were females (Flanagan, Rooney & Griffiths, 2005). Do the data show that there are more male children dying of poisoning than female children? Test at the 1% level. 1) x1 = number male children dying from accidental poisoning x2 = number of female children dying from accidental poisoning 2) Ho: p1 = p2 3) Assumptions a) random? YES b) binomial for each? NO c) 2 samples independent? YES d) at least 5 on each side for both? YES 4) Test Stat Sample Stat 5(.5)/1830+.5(.5)/1830 = .126 / sqrt .25/1830 + .25/1830 = .126 / .017 = 7.412 5) Since our pvalue < a then we will fail to reject the Ho 6) we can conclude there is no difference between male and female children dying from poisoning 9.2.3 All Fresh Seafood is a wholesale fish company based on the east coast of the U.S. Catalina Offshore Products is a wholesale fish company based on the west coast of the U.S. Table #9.2.5 contains prices from both companies for specific fish types ("Seafood online," 2013) ("Buy sushi grade," 2013).

(hint: let Catalina(west) be x1 and fresh(east) be x2) Table #9.2.5: Wholesale Prices of Fish in Dollars -0.786 0 1) Since my pvalue > a I will fail to reject the Ho 2) we can conclude that the west coast wholesaler is not more expensive then the east coast wholesaler.
